Fundraising: Raising money is not required of our participants; however, we encourage individuals and teams to set a fundraising goal and ask friends and family to help reach that goal. Fundraising is easy and fun using RunSignUp's personalized fundraiser pages, options to load pictures, social media sharing and options to display scrolling list of donors. Use a unique team name so friends and family can easily locate and attribute their donations to your team/individual fundraising goal. Some companies offer matching donations; ask your company to support your fundraiser or even sponsor your team!
